Nvidia Puts $5B Into Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence and Hands It Vera Rubin Access for a 10x Compute Jump

NVIDIA Newsroom (community: r/singularity; corroborated by TechCrunch, Calcalist)·high signal

Nvidia and SSI announced a long-term strategic partnership on July 27: a $5 billion investment plus access to the next-generation Vera Rubin platform, which the companies say lets SSI 'increase its compute by an order of magnitude.' The two will also collaborate on the technical direction of Nvidia's current and future compute platforms using SSI's research insights — an unusual arrangement for a lab founded in 2024 that has shipped no product. r/singularity's thread (656 upvotes, 193 comments) is dominated by the obvious question the press release does not answer: what a company with no released model is doing with an order of magnitude more compute.
